How Is It Done?

Using specially fabricated tools, a technician pushes the metal back into its original shape from behind the dent. Depending on the location of the damage, the panel surface is accessed by removing trim pieces, through window openings or by removing inner panels.

In a typical dent removal, the metal around the outside edge of the dent in slowly reshaped back into its original position making the dent progressively smaller as it is worked from the outside edge. Eventually, the dent becomes so small it blends with the texture of the paint and becomes invisible. Call Us Today For AFree Estimate. (405) 216-5684
